Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
This course is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the
fundamental concepts and the practical issues of SCADA systems.
Particular emphasis has been placed on the practical aspects of SCADA
systems with a view to the future. Formulae and details that can be
found in specialized manufacturer manuals. have been purposely committed
in favour of concepts and definitions. It provides an introduction to
the fundamental principles and terminology used in the field of SCADA.
It is a summary of the main subjects to be covered throughout the
course. SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) has been around
as long as there have been control systems.
Network Security
The first ‘SCADA’ systems
utilized data acquisition by means of panels of meters, lights and strip
chart recorders. The operator manually operating various control knobs
exercised supervisory control. These devices were and still are used to
do supervisory control and data acquisition on plants, factories and
power generating facilities. The second part of this course covers the
application of SCADA systems for the monitoring and control of
manufacturing facilities within a single site. It also covers the
additional elements that are common to all SCADA systems. These include
Alarm Management, Human Management Interface (HMI), Network Security,
SCADA Historians, Troubleshooting, Maintenance and Specification
issues.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Develop their existing understanding of SCADA system.Recognize the different components of a SCADA system
